I don't know what would have happened to the game," he commented.

Commentator Kenichi Tanizawa said, "Kondo's pitch was line drive temperamental, so second baseman runner might have popped up. I'm just imagining..." When Nomura said, "Still, if there are no outs, I think we should go in for a touch-up here," he pushed hard.
